Girl Power Gets a Dark Twist

The Black Rose Anthology is a horror series that will be written and directed entirely by women. It is in production for the CW Network with Drew Barrymore producing. From Deadline Hollywood:

As female writers and directors are striving to achieve parity in television, the CW has put in development Black Rose Anthology, a one-hour horror anthology series written and directed entirely by women. It hails from Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen’s Flower Films, former co-showrunner of MTV’s Scream: The TV Series Jill Blotevogel and CBS TV Studios.

Horror, like most genre fare, has been an area … female writers and producers have had a hard time breaking into. Looking to change that, Black Rose Anthology combines genre and female perspective, which has been one of the CW’s signature combinations with such shows as The Vampire Diaries and iZombie.
